How Storm Water Removal Works in Lovejoy

Water beneath a floating floor has limited evaporation paths. Opening the assembly may be necessary to address trapped moisture.

1. Establish safe access

   Floodwater can conceal debris beneath its surface. The crew checks entry and equipment routes before pumping.

2. Remove the standing water

   Surface extraction helps limit further absorption. The team checks seams and coverings that retained water.

3. Address contaminated materials

   Wet carpet and padding may trap contaminated silt. Removal exposes the floor beneath for cleaning.

4. Dry and verify

   A wet cavity can lag behind an open floor. Verification checks both instead of relying on appearance.
